Informed Solutions is delighted to announce its new partnership with the UK-ASEAN Business Council (UKABC).

This milestone represents Informed’s continued commitment to sustainable digital growth in Southeast Asia.

The UK-ASEAN Business Council (UKABC) is an independent partner to UK and ASEAN governments. It links the UK private sector, the UK government and the public and private sector of ASEAN, facilitating dialogue on policy and shared global challenges with the aim to grow two-way trade and investment between the UK and ASEAN.

As a member of the ASEAN Business Advisory Council’s Joint Business Council, the UKABC is an influential partner in key issues facing the region and is the British Government’s and UK businesses’ official representative at the annual ASEAN Economic Ministers – UK Consultative Meeting in the ASEAN region.

Through its membership, Informed Solutions will leverage its expertise in supporting the UK’s contribution to resilient, sustainable infrastructure in the region through trusted, proven and highly advanced data science, AI and Machine Learning expertise, as well as the ability to accelerate and de-risk digital business change.

Membership of the UK-ASEAN Business Council follows Informed Solutions’ recent landmark partnership agreements with two prominent ASEAN entities: REDtone, a leading telecommunications and digital infrastructure services provider in Malaysia; and GRC Consulting Services (GRCCS), a well-established provider of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) advisory services in the region.

Joining the UKABC presents a further strategic opportunity for Informed Solutions to participate during Malaysia’s chairing of ASEAN in 2025. This engagement will foster relationships with digital leaders throughout ASEAN, furthering our mission of sustainable digital transformation and realising shared growth opportunity following the accession of the UK to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) in July 2023.

John Alderson, Chairman of Informed Solutions, commented on the membership:

“Informed Solutions is dedicated to creating impactful digital solutions that address some of the world’s most significant healthcare, security, environmental and economic challenges. Partnering with the UKABC allows us to collaborate with leaders in ASEAN to help strengthen country and regional resilience through the adoption of digital operating models.”

Lord Ed Vaizey, Chair of the UK-ASEAN Business Council, added:

“I am delighted to welcome Informed Solutions into the UKABC partnership.  Their expertise as our first pure-play digital and technology solutions partner brings a valued new dimension to our membership and beyond.  We look forward to hearing Informed Solutions’ voice as part of the vital contribution UK tech makes in global markets – not least in Southeast Asia – participation that will strengthen our collective efforts to address shared global challenges.”
